Gingerbread Boy Cookies image

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover gingerbread dough. I always have some left over after making gingerbread houses, and these cookies are the perfect way to use it up.

I'm allergic to ginger, so I made these cookies with cinnamon instead. They were still delicious! I'm so glad I found this recipe.

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might have overbaked them. But the flavor was still good.
